I Am An Asian

I am an Asian. I came to the US for my higher education. During these years, people have usually looked at me with curiosity because I am short, brown eyes, yellow skin, and long hair. Some classmates are eager to help me while the others do not talk with me no matter how hard I tried. My friend has recently asked me why Asians were so cheap to be used as jokes from daily life to tv shows. I have watched those shows but it does not mean that is how we are. Those shows are for laughing from imaginary stories but many Americans forget this main point. I think that many Americans are too weak to learn about the others so they prefer ignoring and laughing.

You have a good point. I think some of us are scared that you are so much smarter than we are and you are also more industrious / hard working. We have a friend from India that adopted us as his American mom & dad. He has impressed me with his intelligence because their school systems teach what needs to be taught and not the touchy / feely liberal crap our schools do here.

I have learned to make southern Indian food and love the spices. He has made it a point that we are going to India when he get s married in the next year and has asked our permission just like all his other family members.

Be proud of who you are and where you come from.
